Timeless Music and a Timeless Disease Lecture

Timeless Music and a Timeless Disease: Classical Composers and Consumption Interdisciplinary Lecture

LunART Festival 2022 presents Dr. Yolande Chan and Dr. Mary Perkinson on May 31st, at 7:30pm. Presenting an interdisciplinary lecture-recital that explores the cultural links between music and tuberculosis (TB) while also increasing awareness of TB’s threat to global public health. This timeless disease, formerly known as consumption, afflicted a number of prominent 17th-20th-century composers whose works we still enjoy today. This lecture-recital will feature performances of some of these works and will also include a review of the history and early treatment methods of TB. Through this interdisciplinary approach that focuses on an ancient yet contemporary disease, this lecture-recital aims to facilitate deeper connections between the audience, the composers, and their enduring music.

This event is free and open to the public.
